Anthony Tumia
Senior Application Developer · Sydney, Australia
I build practical software for teams that need dependable internal tools, better business processes, and systems that are easier to maintain. My work spans government and science organisation software, React, Next.js, JavaScript, PHP, Go, Power Platform, Python, SQL, and the connective work needed to turn messy workflows into usable applications.
I am currently a Senior Application Developer at ANSTO (The Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation), where I lead digitisation projects and maintain enterprise applications across modern and legacy stacks. My work supports a government science organisation with nuclear facilities, and sits between business process, application development, and long-term maintainability: replacing manual forms, improving internal systems, and building reusable components that other project teams can rely on.
Before ANSTO, I worked across application development, data analysis, reporting automation, and finance systems. That mix shaped how I approach software: understand the workflow first, reduce friction where it matters, and build tools that make the next version easier.
The tools I reach for most often across application development, internal systems, and automation work.
A practical path through application development, data automation, reporting, and finance systems.
